Assumptuousness
Last night at dinner, my father asked me why I didn’t say grace. I told him it was because I didn’t believe in gods. True to his character, he went into denial mode, and asked who made everything around us. Basically, he assumes something is there despite having no reason to do so.
Tonight, we were searching for my phone, which I had lost in the car, and were listening to its...

So, if you all remember this incident back in the day, or you saw the movie Jesus Camp, you should know about maga-pastors like this man.
Yet just another example of the Christian Hipocrisy, that homosexuality is apparently against the bible, yet the most prominent religious figures in Christianity are participating in it.

The son of a pastor is filing for protection from his father for threatening him with a gun?
This was not just any ordinary pastor, this is a well known Alcoa pastor Joe Colquit, pastor of the St. John Missionary Baptist Church.
What the fuck! It says he was being threatened due to his lack of church attendence? Have people really become that desperate that science is the logical knowledge...

Question for Tumblrs #1
Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
That being said, do Tumblrs really believe that our founding fathers were all Christians, even though evidence points to most, like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, being Deists...

Mark Twain
After reading a short essay by Mark Twain regarding the purpose of the fly, and how Christians believe that the fly is there to help remove garbage, i notice he brought up an excellent point. If the fly has a purpose, to remove the garbage, then the garbage itself must have a purpose, and in fact, the garbage must have been designed very specifically to fit a very specific purpose, which is not...

Sarah Palin Announced as New Fox News Commentator
Today, MSNBC had this to say:
“Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, will return to her broadcast roots and take her conservative message to Fox News as a regular commentator, the cable channel announced Monday”
So, naturally, i was infuriated at first when this announcement was perpetrated through the realms of twitter. As a...

This is how I became an atheist, and the story will be more serious than Jeremy’s, because his is made up and mine is not.
I had just returned from Mexico, where I had gone on a mission trip with my church. It was utter chaos there. At any rate, we got back, and upon returning to our normal lives, I sunk into a deep depression (though it can partially be attributed to the massive amounts of...

I am going to tell you about the moment i realized i was an atheist.
The moment came to me when i was in a shower. I had been telling people i was an atheist for approximately a month up until this point. In fact, every time i told people this i felt that god or something would punish me for doing so. This shower occurred on Sunday, January 10th, 2010, and during this shower, after the exact...
